The bitter feud between DA leader John Steenhuisen and the party's finance committee chair Dion George has escalated.
According to a report in the Sunday Times, George submitted an affidavit to Public Protector Kholeka Gcaleka alleging that Steenhuisen had fired him as environment minister under false pretences.
George was removed from his position in the government of national unity (GNU) in November and replaced by the DA's Willie Aucamp.
The former minister also accused Aucamp's family of being involved in canned lion hunting.
Aucamp has rejected these claims.
